Okay so i understand that there is a new implementation on the rules on league... like for example leave buster... well today i lost internet for 3hrs while in the middle of a game... when I finally got internet back... I got this message from leave buster... okay i understand if i rage quit and decided to leave the game... but when its out of my control then what? why do i still get reprimanded, when it was out of my control?

I agree! My client froze today. I tried reconnecting and got a black screen -- 3 times in a row. Rebooted my computer and finally got reconnected. Then wack, leave busters reprimands me.

The "I agree" message is not intended to be a reprimand. It's intended to be a reminder.

It is, however, terribly phrased for that.

On the up-side, it's supposed to show up only the first time you're detected as leaving by the new implementation of Leaverbuster, so you shouldn't see it again. It also doesn't necessarily mean that you're close to an LPQ.

Bump, pointless reprimand for being DC'd

Leave buster is the biggest joke in the world. They want you to be nice to people but they also want you to stay in a dragged out hour long game that you don't want you to play and expect you to be happy about it. This game requires more patience than friggin ghandi.

It's bullshit. Never works properly. If you have a spike mid game, like, 4 sec dc, it repremands you...

Leave buster sucks it isn't even my fault at times then I come back to have to wait 20 minutes to get into a match for 5 games? Has Riot lost there minds???? Get a grip Riot and fix that trash leave buster 5 minutes for 5 games is reasonable or even grouping leavers with other leavers. The system is so bad I started playing another moba because i don't have that kind of time to wait on your game. And more people will go else where if it isn't fixed, your game isn't invincible, so please stop with the garbage rules.

I disconnected from a game due to a computer issue. I rejoined the same game a few minute later, and I received a message after the game had ended that I had to respond to by typing, "I Agree." I understand the idea behind this, but it seems a bit paternalistic and struck a sour chord. I didn't want to leave the game. I rejoined the game in a timely fashion. I still got this message. It struck the wrong note that I had to respond to the game prompting me like that in this situation. I felt like I was in grade school and the teacher made me write my name on the board; it did not feel like a useful reminder of the leave buster system or the Summoner's Code. I like the work that Riot has done trying to improve the community, and I can also understand the difficulty in implementing a system that detects people who leave games for the wrong reasons. This feels like it needs to be retuned though.

You don't need to necro a months old thread.

I'm choked at this horrible leave buster. Put some logic into it please??? My game crashes, I come back in and I get a leave buster? I love this game but I'm really beginning to dislike Riot. I'm not sure how this penalty is going to discourage me from my game crashing on me???? I know you guys have the data that shows I come back into the game, why would I do that if I was intentionally leaving???
